Search tips:

The search uses autocomplete to add in the institutions(s) or search terms(s) which you select from the dropdown.

You will need to enter at least one institution from AC-NMW, Aberystwyth, Bath Spa, Bristol, Cardiff, Cranfield, Exeter, Reading, Southampton, or UWE

You will need to use AND or OR for the search query of the search term items returned from the autocomplete as the join of the search. So AND must have all the search terms and OR has at least one of the search terms.
